Default FS: Big Red-GTS brake upgrade kit $850
This kit contains 2 used big red calipers ( same size as GTS) GTS drilled rotors and Pagid Orange pads. This is a direct bolt on for 86.5-91 cars but does require 17" plus diameter wheels
For $100 more I will toss in a pair of red rear S4 calipers

That is a steal of a deal with GTS calipers costing circa $1000 each

I think Richard just got 'pretty much of a steal' for some great cast iron and steel!

Weren't GTS calipers like $350 each 2 years ago?

If that's what they go for now, that is a definite steal for those. Especially when you figure in the cost of rotors at $250 per rotor.

Yes but that was two years ago - its called German inflation - or as they say in Munich "someone has to pay for the Greek overdraft."

I thought they just put a 1 in front of the price of a part that is running low on supply like the intake tubes; $50 one year ago $150 today.

Seems they basically played the same trick with the calipers too.

You said it!! At that price I would have bought two sets..!!

The Greek overdraft is having an effect on prices

Germany is doing their part to offset the devaluation of the Euro v the US dollar. Not much chance the price of a new Porsche or M-B or BMW dropped 25% in the last few months, in US dollars. Did it??...

Did someone spray-paint the brake pads? It won't do any damage on the edges, but there could be a funny story to be told!

No that's how Pagid sells them. For your $250 plus dollars you get color

I saw these in person today, the calipers are in really nice shape and are bright Brembo Red. Mark's just got his Iphone set on '1977 faded Ektachrome'.
